MOF crystal-glass composites (MOF CGCs) are materials with crystalline MOFs embedded within a glass. Here we develop two novel CGCs, and explore the gas uptake guest-size limitations these materials.
Aggregation-induced emitters - or AIEgens are often symbolised by their photoluminescence enhancement as a result of aggregation in poor solvent. However, for some applications, it is preferable the AIE response to be induced solid-state. Here, ability an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer host induce from embedded silole-based lumophores has been explored. We have focussed on understanding how incorporation method controls extent lumophore and thus associated photophysical properties. To...
This work concerns the use of profilometry‐based indentation plastometry (PIP) to obtain mechanical property information for maraging steel samples produced via an additive manufacturing route (laser powder bed fusion). Bars are in both “horizontal” (all material close build plate) and “vertical” (progressively increasing distance from configurations. Samples mechanically tested as‐built age‐hardened conditions. Stress–strain curves uniaxial testing (tensile compressive) compared with those...
We characterise mixtures of ZIF-8 and sodium fluoroaluminophosphate glass, this provides a framework for evaluating crystalline MOF inorganic glass pairings.
Both hardness testing and Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry (PIP) can be used to obtain features of (tensile) stress-strain curves. The two tests are superficially similar, involving penetration (under a known load) an indenter into the flat surface sample, followed by measurement dimensional characteristics residual indent. associated data handling procedures, however, very different in types test. Hardness numbers, which commonly based on lateral extent or depth indent,...
A dual-template approach is used to embed multilevel porosity into poly(ethersulfone) membranes prepared by non-solvent induced phase separation, leading a 95% increase in permeability.

Organic-inorganic hybrid polymers based on <i>ureasils</i> have found application as waveguides in luminescent solar concentrators and visible light communications. The mechanical properties, thus processability of ureasils, has previously been qualitatively linked to the chemical structure, but not yet studied detail. In this study, a series low molecular weight ureasil synthesised, correlation between structure optical properties investigated. A wide-range techniques are employed...
